government. in the event of a nuclear attack. so nuclear attack, your doomsday happens then you've got your doomsday plan to try to survive it. in 2005, congress passed another doomsday plan meant to ensure the house could function in the aftermath of a terrorist attack that killed or incapacitated most of its members. the rule they passed in the house states that under, "catastrophic circumstances a form would not require 218 congressmen as it does now. rather the house could operate with whoever happened to be around. so, again, you have a terrorist attack, your doomsday scenario, then there's this plan to help you survive it. that is what a doomsday plan usually is. this week, washington is really into another so-called doomsday plan. but it's a weird kind of doomsday plan. it's not a plan meant to save the country in the event of doomsday. it is a plan meant to create a doomsday scenario in the event that republicans have to compromise on tax rates. on monday, abc's jonathan carl explained how it worked. he said "republicans

this resolution before you is required by the california constitution and government code. each year the city needs to confirm its appropriations limit under the gan provisions. in this calculation we have done, it reflects through calculations allowed by the state code that we have a 3.77% local income growth and an 0.4% -- 0.47% population growth and this allows for combined growth in the gam limit from the amount that you established last year of 2.53 billion to a new level of 2.63 billion for fiscal year 12-13. under the allowable calculations, we have shown that the budget for appropriations that are covered by this is at currently 2.47 billion, so this reflects a level still 168 million below the gam limit. if the city were to collect so much revenue that it was above the gam limit, the law would require us to either change the rates to return or some other way return that excess revenue to tax payers or go to voters to ask voters to approve an increase in the limit, but we have not reached that point yet. a couple of other points you might be interested in, we did lo
